RICHMOND, VA — The Central Virginia Waste Management Authority is announcing temporary changes to its curbside recycling collection schedule.

The changes will help crews make up for recent collection delays across the region. The delays were caused by staffing shortages due to COVID-19. Nationwide, the omicron variant is disrupting normal operations across all service industries.

Some Red Week collections will slide into next week. Blue Week collections will not begin until later in the week.
